How I got into Bees
I have been thinking long and hard about the topic of my first ever post on my personal website, long enough to the point I’ve also contemplated when I should actually begin releasing content. Knowing that World Bee Day is coming up (celebrated on the 20th of May every year), I figured that I would explain to you all how it all started: how I got into bees.
It all began back when I was still studying for my bachelors degree at Imperial College London. I had joined a student-led society that did gardening as group activities, and indeed they had a quaint but decently-sized allotment in the middle of the South Kensington campus. Within this little retreat from the bustling Exhibition Road were two bee hives, kept and maintained by the society’s own committee members. I had a lot of fun in every gardening session I joined, and I even got a chance to attend a ‘hive tour’ and saw the inside of a hive for the first time.
